I started this publication as a place to pull together narratives that draw on the information in my family history archives. Occasionally there may be articles relating to some other aspect of family history research. I have 2 family history archives. Both are on the WeAredotxyz platform. Both are a work in progress: • My husband and my biological family history which ranges across the UK and Ireland, USA, New Zealand and Australia, • My adoptive family history which is UK-based. Why I Write This publication provides a place for me to share some of my family history research findings and, where possible, give some context to the lives of those I have researched. If your research interests coincide with mine, please do get in touch! Perhaps I have information you don’t have. Perhaps you have information I don’t have. It is always good to engage, and connect, with people researching the same families. As I have been heard to say a few times, lately - “I am not a writer. I am a genealogist that writes”. To that extent, I prioritise accuracy over telling a good story while trying not to be too boring in the process.
